7. COOKIES AND OTHER DATA COLLECTION TECHNOLOGY.

A “Cookie” is a small text file that is sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer’s hard drive. A Cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the Cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or other similar identifier. A Cookie may also contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our online services.

A “Web Beacon” (also called a “pixel tag” or “clear GIF”) is a piece of computer code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic.

We refer to Cookies, Web Beacons (also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) and other similar technology as “Data Collection Technology”. To learn more about Cookies and Web Beacons, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Data Collection Technology helps us improve your experience on our online services. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web-based analytics tool that tracks and reports on the manner in which the website is used to help us to improve it. Google Analytics does this by placing Cookies on your device. The information that the Cookies collect, such as the number of visitors to the website, the pages visited and the length of time spent on the website, is aggregated. We also may use Data Collection Technology to collect information from the computer or device that you use to access our online services, such as your operating system type, browser type, domain and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone in which your computer or device is located.

We generally use the following types of Data Collection Technologies, which may change from time to time: (i) Session Cookies, which expire once you close your browser; and (ii) Persistent Cookies, which stay on your computer until you delete them.

(7.1) YOUR CONTROL OF COOKIES: Some web browsers (including some mobile web browsers) provide settings that allow you to control or reject Cookies or alert you when a Cookies is placed on your device. You may also be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through our online services.

(7.2) OUR POLICY ON DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS: Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. We follow the DNT signals we receive from your browsers.

8. INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING.

We may use third-party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These advertising service providers may collect (through the use of Data Collection Technologies) information about your visits to and interactions with our Sites. In addition to the information about your visits to our Site, our service providers may also use the information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from us. We do not allow our advertising service providers to use the Personal Information we make available to them for any other purpose than to provide us advertising and analytics services. If you would like more information about this practice, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Frequently Asked Questions. To manage your third party advertising preference, you can use the NAI Consumer Opt Out mechanism. Note that if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you may still see advertisements – they will just not be tailored to your interests.

9. SECURITY AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We use appropriate organizational and technical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, or loss. For example, your Personal Information is stored on secure servers, and we provide you with the capability to transmit your Personal Information via secured and encrypted channels if you use a similarly equipped web browser. We also limit access to your Personal Information to those employees and contractors who need access to perform their job function. If you have any questions about the security on the Sites, please contact us at office@jesterkingbrewery.com
